Why do humans have an innate desire to listen to water? This question is at the center of the research of this sound artist residing in Montreal (Quebec) who explores the sounds of rivers, oceans, rain, and the underwater depths. Water, a symbol of life and tranquility, also embodies the complexities of human emotion, and the comforting sensory memory of amniotic fluid, as well as the deep currents of fear and uncertainty that it stirs within us. It was while participating in the “River of Oblivion” exhibition in South Korea in 2016 that Choi found Gaston Bachelard’s book “L’eau et les rêves” (Water and Dreams, 1942), and this sparked her curiosity and laid the foundations for her line of work. She has studied sculpture at the Royal College of Art in London and at Kyonggi University in Suwon, South Korea.
